OTHER VISIONS:

Competition Other Visions is the one and only competition section of PAF – Festival of Film Animation. It aims to map out the field of moving images of film and video in the Czech Republic. By curated selections, it tries to enable the current domestic audiovisual production that find itself on the border line between fine arts, video art and animation to be more accessible and openly accepted by the public. Every year's selection has been unique thanks to the various interests of the curators who select ten nominated works. The main criteria for submission into competition are the premise that the work is possible to be screened in the cinema and is not older eighteen months. Both professional and amateur artists can submit their moving images.

Video at the border of literary reading and painting also comments on the tools that are available to us for getting a grasp of the world. This work's asset lies in its distinctive visual handwriting that captures the story's locations and the exteriors of a lightly populated city. A character asking for advice from a more experienced partner-pilot, on how to act in order not to lose one's way in life, could be interchanged with a trainee from any creative sphere or art. But how should words be handled so that their weight is not unnecessarily damaged?
